Crossing Humans with Apes.

[Anonymous No.4859550]

Is it possible with todays science?

If iam not wrong 99% of our DNA is the same as the chimpanzees and one of the things that differs is our "reproduction machine" meaning we can't mate with them.

But in a lab, could it work?

we already have ape-human hybrids everywhere, why would you need more of them ?

[Anonymous No.4859573]

Well the fact is chimpanzees also have a larger number of chromosomes to humans, they have 48 and we have 46. So there's that hurdle to get over as well.

It would be possible, but would require tens of millions, valuable research time from the best and brightest, be ethically questionable and have no practical use.

So no, it isn't going to happen.

Different amount of chromosomes.

So?

It's more like 96-98% depending on which studies you take.

Which still sounds like an awful lot, until you realize that we also share close to something like 80% of our DNA with fruit flies, and 50% with bananas (numbers from deep memory, probably a bit off).

So we're not likely to create a sci-fi style 'hybrid' any time soon, though we could definitely monkey around with swapping individual genes back and forth (dohoho monkey around).

we can lay out the entire evolution of new world and old world monkeys through spermatoza penetration acuity

humans and chimps, as well as humans and gorillas/orangs, orangs and gorillas, gorillas and chimps, etc... can form zygotes, they are not viable however, and only last a short time

however, there is probably one or two specimens that will form a viable zygote due to random chance, but the ethical considerations behind doing such an experiment are far too extreme

We may share 99% of our DNA but most of everyone's DNA is junk. The ticket is seeing how similar that small percentage of used DNA is similar. Probably not so much

The practical application is slavery.

This is ethically justifiable because if we didn't do it people would be enslaving real humans.

It would be unethical to not try, which justifies the research money.

Fast forward 1000 years later, and you have hippies claiming the humans and the hybrids are equal, and "people should be free t marry who they love" etc...
